Chapter 1281 Cracking the code(2/2)
The words below were hard to make out, so Kuroba Kaito could only put the newspaper back into the drawer.
At this moment, Conan walked up behind Kuroba Kaito and asked quietly.
"What did you find?"
Kuroba Kaito's shoulders shook as if he had been caught as a thief, and he quickly smiled and scratched his head, "Haha, how is that possible?"
Conan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at "himself" with a playful face in front of him, and he also had some doubts in his mind.
Not only does this guy's face look like mine, his voice sounds like mine, his reaction to being caught is also similar to mine.
Is this guy deliberately imitating himself, or is he just like this?
Kuroba Kaito, who are you?
At this time, Conan's phone suddenly vibrated.
Buzz——
Conan subconsciously took out his phone, looked at the number, and found that it was Xiaolan calling.
Why are you calling yourself at this time? Have you discovered any clues to cracking the code in London?
"Moxi moxi."
"Xinyi? It's me, Xiaolan..."
Conan's face was shocked, and then he realized that Xiaolan was calling his other mobile phone.
Conan has two phones, one is for Conan and the other is for Kudo Shinichi.
However, since the two mobile phones are of the same model and the ringtones vibrate, it is still possible to get them confused if you are not careful.
not good!
Conan reacted and was about to use the bow-tie voice changer to find a secluded place to talk when a big hand stretched out from beside him.
Turning around, he saw that the owner of the big hand was none other than Kuroba Kaito.
I saw a kind smile on Kuroba Kaito's face, and asked in a low voice: "Is it the call from that young lady?"
Conan nodded twice.
Kuroba Kaito: "So, do you need me to answer the call?"
Conan thought for a moment and decided that it would be okay to let this person answer the phone. Anyway, he was currently playing himself.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"Do not worry."
Kuroba Kaito picked up the phone and coughed lightly, "Cough... hello, Ran."
"It's me, Kudo Shinichi..."
On the other side of the phone, Mao Lilan was wondering because she heard Conan's voice on Shinichi's phone.
But then I thought about it, now that these two people were acting together, it wouldn't be strange to hear them.
"Shinichi, is Conan with you? How are you doing there?"
"Well, the kid is right next to me. Our side... is going smoothly."
Kuroba Kaito glanced down at Conan, with a happy smile on his lips.
Conan could only roll his eyes at him, feeling unhappy about why he was called a kid even though he was obviously a little older than him.
"Xiaolan, why did you call me?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"It's like this. My father, doctor, and Zhenzhun and I are currently at the London City Hall..."
On the other side, in front of the London City Hall, Mao Lilan was holding a phone in one hand and a somewhat scary skull toy in the other.
"City Hall? What are you doing there?" came the voice on the phone.
She said to "Kudo Shinichi" on the other side of the phone: "It was Zhenzun's mother who figured out the meaning of the codes. Those codes did not refer to a certain place, but each line represented a place."
"The 'boiled egg' mentioned in the third line is one of London's landmark buildings, the London City Hall that looks like an egg."
"After we got here, we found some skull toys on nearby benches and grass."
"The toy also says Mazarin Stone...'
Kuroba Kaito on the other side of the phone repeated doubtfully, "Mazarin Stone?"
Since Mazarin is a personal name, Kuroba Kaito doesn't know Sherlock Holmes well, so he doesn't understand the meaning.
When Conan next to him heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately became alert.
"It's the Crown Jewels case..."
Kuroba Kaito glanced sideways at Conan, and at the same time, Maori Lan on the phone also said.
"Shinichi, I remember you told me about this case before, called the 'Crown Jewel Case'."
"The prisoner wrote this case on the toy, did he want to express something?"
When Kuroba Kaito heard this, his mind was filled with questions.
What Crown Jewels Case?
I'm pretty good at stealing a crown jewel...
As soon as the short Conan heard about Sherlock Holmes, he couldn't control his mood. He asked Kuroba Kaito for the phone back and used a bow-tie voice changer to change his voice.
"Xiaolan, can the head of that toy be detached?"
"Huh? I don't know..."
"You can give it a try, because Holmes said a very famous saying in this case - my mind is everything to me, and everything else is just an accessory."
Mao Lilan listened to this suggestion, twisted it a little with his hands, and sure enough, he pulled off the head of the toy skeleton.
Under the skull's head and inserted into the body's neck, a letter "T" suddenly appears.
"ah!"
Mao Lilan exclaimed happily, "It's really opened!"
Mouri Kogoro and others next to him also looked at the toy in Mao Lilan's hand in disbelief.
